My friends wanted casual dining and good food but refused to dine in Hong Kong because they were working in the Tsim Sha Tsui area.
We went to Dabyida which is located at No.8 Minden Avenue and only half a minute's walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station & Nathan Road.
Previously tried this place and KC also recommended it.
When we arrived, we were allocated a comfortable table.
The restaurant had high ceilings and it was spacious.
Bar area:
At the back, there was more seating for those who want privacy.
We were given the menu and the choice was impressive, the menu was clear and concise showing the choices for pastas, risotto, main courses to pizzas.
There was a separate drinks and dessert menu:
We settled for some starters, pastas and mains.

Next was the foie gras which was served on a slice of pineapple, the pineapple was perfect with the foie gras to balance out the heaviness.
The foie gras was silky with a lovely pan-fried surface.

Home-made beef cannelloni $158:
Home made cannelloni pasta rolled with minced beef and spinach in tomato sauce and parmesan.

I ordered this because not many places serve this.
It was delicious rich minced beef wrapped in sheets of pasta flavoured by the tangy tomato sauce.

Home-made ravioli $158:
Ravioli stuffed with spinach, ricotta cheese served in cherry tomato sauce.
2 讚好
This is another one of my pasta favourites because it is filled with spinach and ricotta.
Each ravioli was filled with spinach and ricotta cheese that was soft and the ravioli skin was al-dente.

Tuna steak $228:
Pan-fried ocean fresh tuna steak with aged balsamic vinegar atop grilled eggplants with mint sauce.
2 讚好
The tuna was really tasty and the surface was coated in poppy seeds and seared.
The taste of the tuna was quite strong which was balanced by the balsamic vinegar and mint sauce.

Beef tenderloin $298
Grilled 8oz beef tenderloin served with baby spinach and blueberry demi glace.
1 讚好
Ordered the tenderloin for the meat eaters and it turned out to be a huge tenderloin on baby spinach.
I tried some of it and the beef was tender but the beef could be juicy.
The spinach beneath it was sauteed with butter hence it had a buttery taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Duck breast $228
This was a whole roasted duck breast with sweet balsamic plum sauce accompanied with garden salad.
1 讚好
To end the meal, we had the duck breast which also had a strong taste paired with balsamic plum sauce, the duck breast was firm and meaty which went well with the sweet plum sauce.

When we left, they showed us their Christmas menu which looks good because they have chicken rolls with turkey and cranberry sauce.
The set dinners are priced differently but they said I could check the openrice site for the latest information and prices.
